Forks Over Knives: Might the solution to the nation's health care crisis be found in our food choices?
Forks Over Knives: Might the solution to the nation's health care crisis be found in our food choices?
CAPE (the Center for Applied and Professional Ethics) kicks off its fall film series with a screening of the controversial documentary Forks Over Knives. The filmmakers argue that the cause of the majority of diseases afflicting Americans is food-related. Condemning our current meat- and dairy-centered diets, the film makes the case that a plant-based diet can best maintain health and can even reverse some diseases. What is the evidence for such claims? If true, what are some of the social and ethical implications of such claims?
A Q&A with experts—including lauren Ornelas of the Food Empowerment Project—will follow the screening.
Wednesday, September 14
7-10 p.m.
CSU, Chico, Performing Arts Center, Room 134
This event is free and open to the public.
